The M.Ed. in Special Education aims to prepare knowledgeable and skilled practitioners in the field of Special Education with two specialized areas:

1. Teaching Students with Mild and Moderate Disabilities; and

2. Teaching Students with Severe and Profound Disabilities.

These areas of specializations have been chosen to produce graduates who best serve the existing needs of the Qatari community.  In addition to the common core requirements (18 semester hours) for the program, candidates will take 15 semester hours of course work that are specific to their track.  Graduates from the program will be prepared to teach in a variety of settings, such as independent schools as well as special schools, depending on their specialty track they chose coupled with their previous undergraduate and/or diploma background.
